Where these problems happening when you bought the car or after you put the plugs in? Anyway, with the limited info, one would first guess timing or you mixed up the spark plug wires. As far as over heating, check the front of the radiator for debree. 9 times out 10 you will find the rad blocked.

It was happening before i put the plugs in I thought that might be part of the problem but did not help



This is the way all 8 plugs looked when i pulled them out
